Why are there no gifs of Gumshoe's amazing Full-Body Breathing Exercise, and of his great little chuckle-smile, and his incredible lookaround waggle, that dude has some serious eyebrow game

What i'm asking here is why isn't every picture of Gumshoe animated

Okay, two things. A, I said that I was pretty sure the legal system was based on the Japanese one, so y'all guys can chill. It's just a thing that bugged me...

B, when I played through all the games up to Apollo Justice.

God drat y'all jump on people's poo poo fast when they criticize the game.

Nah, you're just a wet blanket. None of the responses read as an attack or criticism against you from an outside perspective, they're purely informational!

Edgeworth really puts on the pressure. He's real quick to throw in objections when you aimlessly press witnesses, and is pretty good on ruthlessly calling and decimating your bluffs.

Still one of the best adversaries in the series.

The technology to look at items from different angles was only invented towards the end of this game.

There's a broken [/img tag somewhere in there, and Edgeworth's "confess your crime" isn't capitalized.

I love how Edgeworth can just completely rejuvinate his case from the brink of certain-looking defeat here. And let's be fair, The "witness" here is such a complete moron that that is quite a piece of work for the prosecution.

I've played all the games that Phoenix appears in as an actual laywer (let's not talk about that weird Project X zone game or the fighting one), and i think the only time a case is ever not about murder is in a spin-off game.

edit: what i'm saying is that A LOT of people die in Japanifornia

Phoenix can definitely call witnesses to the stand, he does it several times, but he needs Good Reasons to do so before it's accepted.

It's not like this "recently deceased mentor's teachings come to the rescue in times of great crisis" trope is particularly uncommon. It's often accompanied with aura/visual hallucinations or flashbacks to make more of an impact, too.

Poor Edgeworth. Beaten by a confession from his idiotic witness that the defense's last-minute deus ex machina asspull somehow drew out.

Look at that indignation. That frustration.

There's a lot of uh, sides to her, more than you'd ever wish to see, but the games at least use them pretty well. We've barely met Oldbag in the LP though, let's not jump the lasergun and wait for people to see why she's so famous for themselves.

I was about to make a post illustrating Edgeworth's stance and how it stems from him being basically the anti-Phoenix, and the duality of the firm beliefs of "the defendant is innocent / guilty" between those two...

... but the upcoming case will do most of the work for me, so i'll just refer to that.

They intentionally hosed with the proportions (everyone's really tall and has big hands and so on) to give them more impact in the court battle scenes. They had to work with cartoony sprites on a really constrained GBA screen, after all.

Doesn't hold up so well in higher resolutions or more "realistic" depictions.

Keep in mind that the price for Dual Destinies is deceptive, it's actually higher, because the DLC is basically mandatory and probably not discounted.

von Karma is usually extremely thorough. There's a reason for his famed perfect record. Dude doesn't take any chances.

Look at this. He knew this would happen. He's been training Edgeworth for a long time, and knows exactly how he ticks.

I think we've got basically all the parts we need to piece together what happened, now. The really tough part is that we'll need to prove it.

Remember, the proof needs to be in the Court Record for you to present it. :v:

KataraniSword posted:

Do Japan's gun control laws forbid pistolwhipping a window open to be able to breathe until the elevator gets unjammed? That seems like the clearest option being suggested.

Just throwing the gun made it go off, repeated pistol-whipping would've resulted in a bloody massacre.

That's all ignoring the windows itself. Have any of you ever been in an elevator with these door windows? They are usually pretty heavy duty. Even normal glass doesn't break as easily as in the movies, and even the pistol shot in the photo just punctured a small hole, the webbed glass around it still holds.

I guess one method would have been shooting several holes into the windows, which they might not have wanted to consider for a lot of obvious reasons

This gets really annoying when I've figured out what happened and have a piece of evidence I think will prove it but the game is like 'woah slow down there son, your a crazy man.'
Which turns into showing a different bit of proof which leads to something being added to the court record, which I later show as proof... And then I'm allowed to present my first piece of evidence to solve the case

To be fair, Edgeworth is von Karma's student and has a pretty bad reputation as a "Demon Prosecutor".

And he did arrange testimony at least once during Case 2, having the bellboy omit mention of Redd White.

To be fair, part of that was probably pressure from above to "keep our good friend and benefactor Redd White out of this". Since Edgeworth isn't the Chief of Prosecution, he can't just say "nuts to you and your extortion attempt, i'll do this my way". :ssh:
